Private Equity
Luxembourg has positioned itself as a favourite jurisdiction for structuring private equity transactions. In this complex legal, tax and regulatory environment, our dedicated private equity team, with its longstanding experience, fully understands the changing context of the private equity market and the underlying high expectations of our clients. In particular, our team recognises the importance of providing top-quality legal and tax advice in a timely and practical manner which allows our clients to respond quickly to opportunities in this competitive environment.
Our clients range from sponsors of private equity firms to private/institutional investors, financial institutions and funds of funds, and we are committed to creatively tailoring our services to such diverse client expectations. With this in mind, we have dedicated a team to private equity matters composed of specialists combining the private equity experience and know-how of our corporate, tax and regulatory lawyers.
Arendt & Medernach’s private equity practice distinguishes itself from its competitors by providing to its clients a “one-stop shop” of high quality services across the board. As such, we represent private equity funds in all aspects of their activities. We design strategic and taxefficient structures, offering innovative features as necessary. We assist in the setting-up of virtually all types of funds (buyout, real estate, distressed and hedge funds) while respecting the regulatory requirements.
Our lawyers are familiar with the dynamics of the different stages of the investment cycle, including the making of investments and exiting therefrom. We are also in a position to deliver legal and tax opinions to confirm the solid grounds of the structure. Also key to our clients, our advice includes the ongoing general representation of our private equity clients that is necessary during the life of the fund, including in terms of corporate and tax compliance (both with respect to direct taxes and VAT aspects) follow-ups.
It is this full range of services and our skilled professional advisors that make us one of the market leaders in Luxembourg, allowing us to address any legal and tax issues that might arise whilst establishing and running a successful private equity fund.
